Angara paced in frustration upon the stony ground of the pass. The eagles were on high alert, sweeping the pass for any sign of Morgoth's minions. Thorondor had forbidden her to join them under pain of death.

In the growing bedlam below, she had lost all contact with Pio, and that alarmed her. Search as she might, no sign of the elf's whereabouts came to her.

And where was Mithadan? She thought he had planned to have them all come back before the full force of Morgoth's might hit the city.

Something was wrong, horribly wrong and she could do nothing about it. Her tail slapped the side of a rocky outcropping, sending shards of rock every where. Her claws marked deep runnels in the rock she paced on.

'Guard your energy, dragon!' came the deep voice of Thorondor. 'You are your companions' last hope for a return to safety. We will guard the pass and keep it safe for their return, though we cannot save the city from its doom. The wrath of Bauglir is full upon it, and soon naught but ashes will show where once that fair city lay.'

Curls of smoke poured from Angara's nostrils as her anger mounted in frustration.

Then something caught her mind, and she grasped at a small sliver of hope - it was Bird! And a furious Bird at that! Attacking an orc which threatened Child.

Wonder shook her from her anger - it was Bird, but now grown into dragon form!!! Hysterical, rumbling laughter tumbled from deep within the dragon, and tears of relief fell tinkling on the stone.

'Have you gone mad, dragon?' asked Thorondor, thinking to call in some reinforcements to subdue Angara.

'No, no, dear King! Nothing of the sort! A small ray of hope has opened up for my companions. I would though that you be on the lookout for a curiously colored black and silver, winged dragon who should soon be approaching, hopefully with the other companions on her back. Do not fear her approach, She comes not from Morgoth. She is like to me.'

Thorondor fixed the dragon with a wary eye. 'Ah! I see! We are now to have two mad dragons in the pass. The thought brings little comfort to me, Wyrm. But I will tell the others to let her pass safely.'

With a great rush of wings, he took to the sky, leaving the grounded dragon below to scour the sky for signs of her returning friends.
